[Coco] CoCo vs C64 on Slashdot

[Bill Loguidice]

April Fool's aside, the C-64 actually has some superb hardware add-ons for
the modern day enthusiast, plus a regular influx of great new software, so
it's probably a wash. Luckily for us, the 8-bits wars of yesteryear are
long since over and we're all part of the same general
retro-computing/retro-gaming community. Good to see the old passions still
there, though!
